Create a Read-Only Administrator

Only the Full Administrator can create Read-only Administrators using the POST /settings/readOnlyUser HTTP method and URI.

Description

To create a read-only user, specify the username and password. Administrative access is required to create a read-only user.

Note: A
username is a UTF-8 string that does not contain spaces, control characters or any of these characters: ()<>@,;:\"/[]?={} characters. Passwords must be UTF-8 with no control characters and must be at least six characters long.

HTTP Method and URI

The read-only user is created using the username and password parameters (mandatory). The just_validate=1 parameter validates the username and password for the read-only user.

POST /settings/readOnlyUser

Parameters:

username

password

just_validate (optional)

The endpoint has one additional, optional parameter just_validate=1. If the just_validate=1 parameter is specified, the server does not create the user. Instead the username and password for the read-only user is validated.
